Is it possible for a JavaScript function to get the value of a text object?
For example,
GeoGebraScript:
- mytext = "pizza"
Followed by JavaScript:
- alert(ggbApplet.getValue("mytext"));
And this would result in a popup that says "pizza". This doesn't work because the getValue() command only returns a number which is NaN for text objects and there is no getTextValue function.
The same question 
I found the answer to my own question. It's not obvious, so here it is for anyone else searching for this.
Use:
The trick is that getValueString() returns some sort of pointer so you have to add a string to it like +"" to actually get the string value.
